Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have consulted a reliable size chart. Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. Consider that leather can stretch slightly over time.

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid excessive bending of the foot while wearing.

Discoloration on white accents

Clean white areas promptly with a suitable leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Protect from abrasive surfaces and potential color transfer from darker clothing.

Sole feels stiff initially

The Air-Sole unit and rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot's movement.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhanced cushioning provides excellent comfort for extended wear.
  • Timeless design with a versatile color scheme suitable for various outfits.
  • Collector's item with a significant backstory tied to Michael Jordan's legacy.
  • Robust construction ensures longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, there is no 'setup' required beyond trying them on and ensuring a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male footwear sizing. They are compatible with most casual and athletic wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and prevent creasing. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
  4. Lacing: Ensure laces are tied appropriately to maintain the shoe's structure and your foot's support, but avoid over-tightening which can stress the eyelets.
